Chapter 67: Home is Where You Are – Part 2

~ TARKYN ~

Tarkyn's heart ached. He didn't want to leave her anymore than she wanted to be left, but he was so glad that she'd be here in privacy, not hovered over by the males outside. Mhagnus was a good male—evidenced by the fact that he hadn't been angry with Tarkyn after the kerfuffle that morning. Tarkyn knew they wouldn't disturb her… so why did he feel shaky just at the idea of leaving her there?

Because he could feel her fear—and holding her close like this, he felt it as acutely as his own.

He searched his mind then for something to say that might comfort her, anything. But all his reassurances sounded hollow, even in his own mind.
